BLENDING YOUR MANY DESIGN STYLES

7/10/2016

We recently received an order for nearly all the styles of our luxury chair line, but in smaller amounts, wood tables that seemingly does not partner well with a more modern seating option, a clear tent, wood pavilion which attached to the tent, and many decor items that just didn't make sense from most perspectives. What seemed to be  a yin and yang of design, turned out to be a splendid display of mesmerizing eye candy.

Vintage and Lace Weddings, here in Kona, was able to "marry" {ha ha ha-pun intended} all of these hand picked items to create a very interesting style.

Don't be so quick to dismiss your adoration for Baroque because you've decided on a minimalistic affaire. A few well placed pieces will satisfy your Renaissance style, while keeping the overall experience simple and clean.
The reason you can't decide on a single style for EVERYTHING is because you are utterly and completely YOU! Don't apologize, you have your OWN style. How wonderful is it to harness that!

Your event designer should revel in the fact that she gets to create something so distinctive. It's one thing to find a style and create an event, it's completely euphoric to create a style out of the things you LOVE.

Ah...Perfection!

Perfectionist or Control Freak?

If you are planning your own wedding, you just might be a perfectionist. Striving for perfection is a commendable virtue, but, when does your quest for perfection cross the line into a control issue?

The down side of being a perfectionist, while planning your wedding:
  • It will never be perfect, no matter who plans it. You'll come up with a list of  ... I should haves... I wish Is ...Why did Is...This is not necessarily a bad thing, unless you let it set the tone for the rest of the planning process.
  • You keep such a close eye on the details, you miss the moments.
  • You set yourself up for a roller coaster ride. One detail could send you on a tail spin. Not saying you're a bridezilla, just saying your emotions could be up and down the whole night. 
  • You are compelled to straighten out the little imperfections rather than tending to your guests and having a good time.
  • It takes a lot of time and dedication to plan a wedding. You might be up for it starting out but be assured it is demanding and will keep you up at night.
  • What starts out as planning quickly becomes a control issue and before you know it you have alienated everyone involved.
The up side of being a perfectionist, while planning your wedding:
  • No one can truly see what you see, who better than you, to execute it?
  • Planning your own wedding gives you a sense of accomplishment and adds to the joy of that moment, when all is revealed.
  • It could save you money. The perfectionist usually knows where and who to hire before they enter the planning arena.  
  • The perfectionist is great with time lines and checklist. Chances are that you will not overlook a deadline or little details.


That being said, hiring a planner who is also a perfectionist, might just be your saving grace! Call us for our insiders recommendations for planners that we think is your perfect fit.

That could have gone the other way

Imagine the horror... a vendor calls to cancel just two weeks away, because she's over booked her weekend? Yes, it HAS happened. We are on an ISLAND?!!! .... What now? Panic is a viable option.
It goes without saying that this could be disastrous!
Not so. Hawaii is home to some of the world's most beautiful and fragrant flowers and fillers.
A good local floral designer can turn your catastrophe into something unexpectedly beautiful.
In the midst
if an unraveling plan you find what you're really made of.
This also might be time to consider silks. You can still get the desired look but without the urgency of overnight shipping and out of stock messages.

Go Betweens

Ideally you would have all the time in the world to personally meet and collaborate with each vendor. But since we all live in  the real world,
we NEED the "go betweens".
Design requires a meeting of the minds.
The island is rich with planning talent,
who will work with us to create a breathtaking display for you to enjoy.

At Nanea, Terry and her team are skilled at soaking it all in and unfolding your creation so that you are in awe of what you created through them.
Annie's of Bliss in bloom produces florals that fill you with happiness.

GLAM

What
is IT..... Exactly?

The Urban Dictionary defines it as... the art of celebrating all things beautiful...
Oliver Platt once said, "Beautiful is in the eye of the beholder". Indeed, we concur!
Celebrate YOUR beautiful! Glam it up. There is no parameter suggesting that if you go out of the lines, it is no longer GLAM. Make it your own, celebrate your style. One day you will look back remember with fondness. If you do you, there will be no regrets later on. As we age we tend to care less of trends and current fashion, so it stands to reason that no matter what the trend was YOU remain TIMELESS.
